Eagle’s Glory

"It's hard to hear such nice words from your mouth~"

Teresa is really happy.

For a long time, she was worried that His Highness's resentment against the Habsburg family was too heavy, so that the relationship could not be healed in the future. Now that Aigron was so objectively evaluating her family, and even said a lot of good things, she was naturally full of heart. glad.

Although she had made a choice between His Royal Highness and the family, wouldn't it be a better outcome if she could get the best of both worlds?

That's why she was so happy that she disregarded her decency and made such an intimate act in front of outsiders.

Aigron also responded affectionately, bowing his head and kissing his fiancee's cheek, making Pushkin look envious.

Then, Aigron smiled at the other party again, "Sorry, maybe I went a little too far."

"On the contrary, I don't think you strayed from the topic." Pushkin regained his composure, then shook his head, "Everything you said proves that you are really thinking deeply about the problem... In my superficial knowledge, I don't know what you said Right or wrong, but the willingness to think about this question itself proves that you are really thinking about a better order, it is hard to imagine that you are this age..."

"Compared to my peers, I have a lot less freedom, so I have more time to think." Aegron jokingly pointed to his head, "Of course, I won't thank my grandfather, the emperor, for this matter. ."

"I think he has gone too far in this matter." Pushkin also disapproved of the Austrian emperor's actions, "No matter how much grudge your ancestors have, you should not be held responsible for it, and even you are still flowing. His bloodline, he really lost the dignity of the emperor by doing so."

"No matter what happened before, it's in the past. Although I won't forgive, I won't hold grudges all the time." Aegron replied magnanimously, "For the best, at least I have learned to be patient and Calm down, and he has already compensated me with the most precious treasure in the world..."

"You are the true royal demeanor." Pushkin nodded approvingly, "I hope you can fulfill your promise in the future. The Bonaparte family was once prosperous and was in trouble. I hope you will not be the first to do it. In the name of man, write your new legend, and if possible, I sincerely hope that you will use your wisdom and compassion to create a better future for France, and even for the whole of Europe."

In his heart, Napoleon, the one-time giant, was full of mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he hated his military use, because his boundless ambition had soaked the whole of Europe in a sea of ​​blood; but on the other hand, he admired the inexhaustible energy of this great man and the power to change the world.

The empire of the Bonaparte family was wiped out on the land of Russia. This is its own disaster. It is not worth pity, but the great passions and ideals of freedom of the era of the Great Revolution are also buried with it, but it is a pity - in any case, The empire of the Bonapartes was at least closer to the common man than the empire of the Habsburgs.

It has only been less than an hour since he saw the unmarried couple, but he has already fallen in love with them from the bottom of his heart. Both the teenagers and the girls left a deep impression on him. Their demeanor made him look forward to that day. .

Of course, Pushkin also knows that people will change, and even the best ideals will fade with time, but he is willing to believe that they can be different, can keep their promises at the moment, and let the enlightened good government return to the earth.

Now, the entire continent is once again shrouded in the shadow of the Holy Alliance, dying in the mud of old times. If one day the Bonaparte family, led by a new generation of leaders, once again takes the throne with the passion and glory of the past, That's not a bad thing - at least that's what Pushkin thought at the moment.

He couldn't help looking at the boy and girl in front of him again, they were snuggling closely together, looking forward to a future that belonged to them alone.

Habsburg represents the past, Bonaparte represents the future, and they are now subtly and harmoniously merged to form the "present".

"I dare to ask, when will the wedding of the two of you be held?" he asked expectantly.

Agron and Teresa looked at each other, then couldn't help but smile at each other.

"You came at the right time." Then Teresa replied with a smile, "The wedding will be held in two days, on December 29th, we will hold this wedding at the Parthenon, and then the whole of Athens will be Celebrate it for three days until the new year."

Great! This means I'm on my way.

Of course Pushkin knew what the Parthenon represented, but he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, on the contrary he found it interesting.

Before Pushkin could make a request, Aigron took the initiative to offer an invitation, "Respectable poet, would you like to take part in our wedding? I'd love to see you appear among the guests at the scene."

"Of course! Thank you for giving me this honor!"

Being invited by the new couple in person, Pushkin was naturally very happy.

This must be a historic moment, how could he not agree?

"Then we'll settle it." Aegron nodded, "You can live in our mansion during this time, and we can talk again if we have time-but for now, we'd better take a break Well, because lunchtime is coming up...I don't think you would refuse to dine with us, would you?"

"Of course! Of course!" replied Pushkin, laughing. "It would be even better if you were happy to drink with a Russian."

"No, that won't do!" Teresa immediately rejected, "I don't want to see His Royal Highness sleeping beside me full of alcohol, and he can't lose his temper when our wedding is approaching. Mr. Pushkin, do you want to drink I'm happy to give as much wine as I want, but don't bring him!"

This straightforward answer made the other two laugh together.

"As ordered, Her Royal Highness." Pushkin bowed.

For the next two days, Agron and Teresa followed Madame Henrietta's orders, preparing for the wedding and occasionally chatting with Mr. Pushkin.

Two days passed by inadvertently.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the wedding.

Although the temperature today is no different from an ordinary winter day, Teresa only felt shivering, fidgeting, her heartbeat always accelerated suddenly, and she was often absent-minded when speaking with others.

Teresa knew that she was very nervous, and even though she told herself countless times that she must stay calm and not lose her proper demeanor, she was still nervous.

So, after having dinner with Aegron, her mother, and others, she retired first, and the people around her could see her mood at the moment, so they were tolerant and considerate, and did not disturb her any more.

Teresa returned to her bedroom alone, sat in front of the dresser, and carefully looked at herself in the mirror under the bright candlelight.

Under her gaze, the girl in the mirror was bright and beautiful, her hair was also **** in a bun, two small braids were braided on both sides, and the ends of the braids were also placed in the back of the head. In the bun, two braids are formed around the ears in the shape of a half-moon.

Her expression was erratic, like sadness or joy, and her eyes flashed like weeping and complaining.

Why are you so restless? She asked herself.

She looked forward, she longed, she waited for the future life, but because of these anticipations and longings, she inevitably became nervous as the wedding approached.

In another night, she will be a married woman, but it all seems so far away, like a dream.

Can I automatically become another person after just one ritual?

God, can I really be a good wife and mother? She was uncertain in her heart, although she knew that this question was meaningless, but she couldn't avoid being nervous.

Maybe girls before marriage will face this moment, right?

Fortunately, she now has a "mentor" by her side, which is enough to help her ease this hesitation and tension.

"My daughter." She heard a call from behind.

Theresa subconsciously turned her head and looked back, and found that her mother had come in at an unknown time.

At this moment, she is looking at herself with loving and encouraging eyes.

"Mom..." Teresa suddenly felt warm in her heart. "Thank goodness you are by my side!"

Madame Henrietta smiled as she approached her daughter, stroked her shoulder, and spoke.

"Don't be nervous, Teresa... I can understand your mood at the moment, after all, I was married once, and on the day before I married your father, I was also uneasy, worried that I would not be able to play my due role. So I don't It is inevitable that you will be blamed for your gaffe. I will only encourage you, comfort you, and ask you to keep in mind the fact that I will always be by your side."

"Mom..." Teresa called out again, almost crying. "Thank you, I... I'm really sorry for you."

"Why do you still say this at this time? Everything has passed, and now we should all look forward." Madam replied with a smile, "Besides, I don't think you have done a bad job, in fact, I do I envy you a little."

"What?" Teresa was a little surprised.

"You are stubborn, insist on your own ideas, and even dare to fight against your father. In the end, you have achieved your wish. This is something I have never done. Even you make me feel that I should be happy for you." Madam continued to caress He held his daughter's shoulder, and then whispered, "You know, people like us are rarely qualified to talk about 'choice', my parents decide who can be my husband, even if I have never Having seen his face... Of course, I am not saying that I am dissatisfied, in fact I am very happy that I can become the wife of Archduke Karl, which is my pride; however, all this is not my choice, it is a different matter. "

Then, she changed her words, "And you are different, although you were ordered to marry by His Majesty, but you made a choice according to your own wishes, of course, this is nothing, but when the disaster came, you Still dare to stick to your own heart, and even make your father regress at all costs, this is really unimaginable to me... Sometimes I even think, why does my daughter have this courage? I don't know Reason, but I'm glad."

"Happy?" Teresa whispered to herself.

"Yeah, I'm glad that my daughter has the ability to control her own destiny. I don't know if you will regret it next, or even where you will go, but I feel that at least for this moment, you are your own Master, you put your soul above your parents, and even above the imperial power... I haven't done it, but it doesn't prevent me from cheering you secretly. Maybe it's the reason, I surrendered earlier than your father, I tacitly agreed Your persistence is even willing to cooperate with it, because in my heart I want to see your dreams come true."

Soon, she smiled playfully again, "Of course, the prerequisite is that His Highness is cute enough. If his appearance and talent are not recognized by me, then I will not surrender to you so easily~"

Mother's words made Teresa burst into laughter.

Yes, His Highness was chosen by herself, and is recognized by everyone as the most outstanding among the grandsons of this generation in Europe, whether it is strategy or talent, she is the object of her love at first sight.

Your choice is by no means blind - after all, what is there to doubt even if your mother says so?

"Mom, do you think I can be a good wife and mother?" Theresa whispered.

In fact, she just wanted to get a positive answer to increase her courage.

"Of course! You can't be more suitable!" The mother gave her this standard answer without hesitation, "I watched my daughter grow up, I know how good and strong she is! She has a compassionate heart. She loves life, believes the world will be better, and is willing to do it herself - how can such a person not be the best What about a good mother? Trust me, sure, I'll make a deal with you."

"I'm embarrassed for what you said!" Teresa replied with a bit of blush.

However, her original nervousness was calmed down.

Yes... Since even my mother said that, it must be true. I can be the best wife and mother, and work together with His Royal Highness to run this family well, carry forward this family, and get the best future for myself.

"Of course, these are not enough. There are too many things to do to run a good family." Madame Henrietta smiled again, "First of all, you need to have more children - your father and I have had six children. A child, this is the proudest honor in my life, and you should shoulder this obligation, because now only the Royal Highness is left in the direct line of the Bonaparte family, you shoulder this responsibility, you should shoulder it..."

"Of course... of course..." Teresa blushed slightly, but nodded her head.

"Teresa, my daughter, I'm very proud to have you as a daughter." Madam gently protected her daughter, "I believe you can do well, better than me, because you are worthy... You are proud."
